Would it not be better to treat the mental cases that have the mental disease ‘Gender Dysphoria’?
It has always been a criminal offence to inflict violence on a person so why single out preferred minorities for extra protection against speech?
What next, a law to protect the ginger haired from abusive soeech?

Transgender people are treated worse than any other minority, they have over a 40% attempted suicide rate (compared to a 1.6% cisgender attempted suicide rate), they face huge discrimination in schools, over 75% feel unsafe to even go to school because they are transgender. Transgender people get fired on a day to day basis, they are denied houses, and they have to go through years of therapy and a $40,000+ (US dollars) surgery, just to face a little less discrimination and feel right in their own body. They deserve these rights.
